A one-minute look at the plan: every stop, day by day, with the map.
When to go to Regina
Summer, from June to August, is warm and sunny and the best time for Wascana Centre and the lake paths. Winters are long and very cold, with snow, though indoor stops stay open. The Saskatchewan Roughriders football season runs from June to November, and home games fill hotels. Spring and autumn are short and variable.

Tips for Regina
- Most sights are in or near Wascana Centre, the large park around Wascana Lake, so group them on the same day.
- The Saskatchewan Legislative Building offers free tours; check the tour times and bring photo ID for the security check.
- The RCMP Heritage Centre is a short drive west of the city centre, so allow time to get there by car or taxi.
- Winters are very cold, so indoor stops such as the museums and galleries suit the colder months.
- A car or taxi helps between the north and south of the city, but the lake path is good for walking in summer.
